A lens array used in integral imaging must have subretinal viewcone size.
+
A lens array used in integral imaging must have a viewcone size significantly smaller than a human retina in order to solve the [[vergence-accommodation conflict]]. If the viewcone size is more than the width of the retina, the display will only show parallax, and no correct focal cues.
